Good thing that Rexxar has been tracking one down and has had a recent breakthrough.\r\rWe head to Stormsong Valley and learn more about the Tidesage that Rexxar has tracked. He's at a camp nearby and has been staying there with his family. We're warned that tidesages are powerful foes and have mastery over all the elements with some even manipulating the Void!\r\rSearching for the Tidesage\r\rHeading east, we spot a small camp on Tidebreak Summit and see a woman and two children residing there. \r\r\r\rWe approach and the following conversation starts.\r\rRexxar: Hrm, the tidesage was here some time ago, I watched him protect and serve his family.\r\rLilian Voss: Well, I could make a few threats to the woman, see if she gives us some details...\r\rRexxar: There is no honor in that. We can just ask. We have no qualms with a crying mother.\r\r<Rexxar approaches>\r\rJulia Zelling: The Horde... are you here to take more from me? My husband is dying, I'm penniless... just leave my children be, please.\r\rRexxar: All I want to know is your husband's location. No harm will come ot you or your family.\r\rJulia Zelling: Anything you do couldn't be worse than the disease... he went east to die in peace, away from the children. Please, just leave us be.\r\rRexxar: We must hurry if we are to get this tidesage's help.\r\rHeading to the east side of Tidebreak Summit, we find the tidesage, Thomas Zelling dying next to a flowing river and talking out loud about his disease.\r\rThomas Zelling:: The Void, the elements <cough>... can nothing stop this damned disease? Why did it have to end like this?\r\rPlayer: I'm here to ask for your help, not to kill you.\r\rLilian Voss: <player> is right, sort of. You won't get hurt if you help us, preferably before you die.\r\rThomas Zelling: One of the Forsaken. Perhaps it's a <cough> sign. Tell me, miss...?\r\rLilian Voss: I'm the one asking the questions. Can you track people? Objects?\r\rThomas Zelling: Miss Voss. Did you retain any sicknesses, any diseases that you had in life when you were returned? \r\rLilian Voss: Do not try my patience, or I'll make you wish your disease already killed you. I need to see how good your magic is before we go any further.\r\rThomas Zelling: Is my family safe?\r\rLilian Voss: I said do not try my--\r\rThomas Zelling: I must know if my family is safe! <cough>\r\rRexxar: They are safe. Help us and we will continue to ensure their safety.\r\rThomas Zelling: <cough> I... I will do what I can, Miss Voss. You want someone or something located, correct? Let me see what I can do without my book...\r\rThomas Zelling: There are Alliance and Kul Tiran forces at Sagehold. They are awaiting reinforcements and are vulnerable to an attack at this moment.\r\rLIlian Voss: Good. Prove how useful you can be to the Horde and we'll see how much longer we let you live this life.\r\rSagehold\r\rSince Thomas Zelling has let us know that Sagehold is vulnerable, we decide to take advantage of it. Lilian wants us to strike fear in the tidesage recruits and Kul Tirans builders by using a Val'kyr horn. Meanwhile, we need to kill some of the guards and captains to retrieve the Book of Forbidden Magics for Zelling. As the quests are accepted, the RP continues.\r\rThomas Zelling: <wheeze> You're not concerned I may attack you? Try to run?\r\rLilian Voss: You'd be dead before your next pathetic cough, Zelling. Care to test me?\r\rThomas Zelling: No, but you can you answer my question? When you become Forsaken, are you purged of any sicknesses?\r\rAfter proving that Zelling's intel about Sagehold was true, Zelling tells us that LIlian wants a showing of what his powers really are. Zelling instills a magical font inside us that absorbs void essence. When it's full, it allows us to unleash wind magic! He instructs us to go to Port Fogtide and fill up the font. \r\rFilling up the font and unleashing the wind magic makes a large cyclone that carries us all the way back up the summit. \r\r\r\rBy the Will of the Dark Lady\r\rWith Lilian Voss impressed by Zelling's power it's time to get him to locate the body of Valentine.\r\rPlayer: Zelling, we need you to locate Marshal Valentine's corpse for us.\r\rThomas Zelling: <wheeze> I'm... sorry. I.. can't... I don't have anything... left in me...\r\rLilian Voss: Zelling! Damn you, we need you alive!\r\rThomas Zelling: Miss Voss, <cough> please... bring me back... I must help my family... I'll do anything... anything...\r\rLilian Voss: You'll be shunned if you become one of us. You look in a mirror and all you'll see is a monster.\r\rThomas Zelling: I would... damn my soul... for all eternity... if it meant my family's happiness... please! You must...\r\rThomas Zelling: You... must...\r\r<Thomas Zelling dies>\r\rRexxar: Lilian. We can find other tidesages. You know his family won't accept him.\r\rLilian Voss: We'll see. Maybe it can be different... just this one time.\r\r<Lilian Voss summons a Val'kyr>\r\rKyra: Lilian Voss. Why have you called upon me?\r\rLilian Voss: Bring this man back. He has been chosen to become Forsaken.\r\rKyra: As you command, by the will of the Dark Lady.\r\r<Thomas Zelling is resurrected as a Forsaken and Kyra leaves>\r\rThomas Zelling: I... I live! Hahaha! I must see Julia and the children at once. They will be delighted!\r\r<Thomas Zelling runs off>\r\rLilian Voss: I guess we'll see what happens now.\r\rTo Be Forsaken\r\rWell, it's likely this won't turn out well, so we'll need to catch up with Zelling.\r\rJulia Zelling: For the last time, STAY BACK! You are NOT my husband!\r\rThomas Zelling: Why won't you understand?! I'm your husband.... Children, it's your daddy! \r\rHannah Zelling: Stay away!\r\rMatthraw Zelling: Momma, I'm scared of the monster!\r\rThomas Zelling: Daddy is right here. Listen to my voice! Why aren't you understanding this?!\r\rHannah Zelling: Keep it away!\r\rMatthew Zelling: Momma! Help us!\r\rThomas Zelling: Quiet!\r\rJulia Zelling: Leave us be!\r\rMatthew Zelling: Get it away!\r\rHannah Zelling: Make the monster go away!\r\rThomas Zelling: THAT'S ENOUGH!\r\rThomas Zelling: I... I...\r\rJulia Zelling: I don't know who you are, but my husband NEVER tried to hurt me or his children. We are leaving... do not follow us!\r\rThomas Zelling: No... Julia... Matthew... Hannah... what have I done? What... am I?\r\rLilian Voss: I tried to warn you, Zelling. The process changes you. The living won't accept you anymore.\r\rThomas Zelling: And where does that leave me? A mindless servant of the Banshee Queen?\r\rLilian Voss: Embrace the Forsaken and carve your own path. You'll be amongst those who accept you for what you've become. \r\rThomas Zelling: I will join you... and help you find Marshal Valentine. As long as you promise that my family remains unharmed.\r\rLilian Voss: You have my word. Come, <player>, return to Nathanos and inform him that we have what we need.

Is there a prerequisite to this quest that I might be missing? I have Death of a Tide Sage next to do but have not received the opening quest yet.

Anyone who thinks the factions can be broken down into "good guys" and "bad guys" is so painfully stupid I'm surprised you're allowed outside without a helmet.
